<p>Producer Guneet Monga aced her look for Oscars 2025 as she celebrated India in a contemporary saree by <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/fashion/article/manish-malhotra-makes-a-fashion-statement-with-debut-look-at-golden-globes-23459707" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Manish Malhotra</strong></a>, blending traditional and modern styles.</p>
<p>The hand-woven tissue outfit featured a constructed corset paired with a saree, complemented by a unique drape and trench coat. She styled the mocha mousse outfit with a clutch and stud earrings from Malhotra&rsquo;s fine jewellery label.</p>
<p>Apart from a unique blend of styles, this outfit is an interesting choice for another reason &ndash; its colour. Mocha mousse was named <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/culture/article/pantone-colour-of-the-year-2025-will-remind-you-of-chocolate-or-coffee-23442143" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>&lsquo;Pantone Colour of the Year&rsquo;</strong></a> for 2025, and has been in the spotlight since then.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Malhotra took to his Instagram handle to commend Monga&rsquo;s bold and elegant representation of Indian heritage on the global stage.</p>
<p>Sharing her photos, he wrote, &ldquo;The fabulous @guneetmonga looking elegant and regal, making a strong style statement in Indian contemporary fashion, celebrating the saree with a constructed corset and trench in the special color of the year, Mocha Mousse.
